One of the papers published the salaries of all the Leaf players. They are pretty low paid by NHL standards. The top earners are Rielly and Andersen at $5 million each.
You have to factor in performance bonuses for the players on entry contracts.Rookies don't get paid very much.
Nobody expected the team that finished dead last a year ago to win the cup this year.At least Auston Matthews will win the Calder Trophy, The Leafs Stanley Cup droughts keeps getting longer. The 50th Anniversary is on May 2. The other 5 original 6 teams won cup 1993 and after.
I'm pretty sure the Leafs are not following the Oilers blue print because the Leafs have their own blue print that will be envy of the NHL. And "No" the Leafs don't want washed up has been stars like Corey Perry.Believe it or not,Leafs can follow another team's blue print from the Oilers during the off season. The Oilers improved by adding muscles in Lucic,Maroon and even one time washed up,Kassian! Maybe, Leafs should trade for Corey Perry?
Let's look at the Oilers blueprint and where they've finished in recent years, despite winning the draft lottery 4 times between 2010-2015. It's about time they made the playoffs.Believe it or not,Leafs can follow another team's blue print from the Oilers during the off season.
